Australia vs South Africa 1st ODI: Top 5 Fantasy Cricket picks for the Australia vs South Africa Dream11 team

The focus now shifts to the busy cricketing season Down Under as South Africa travels to Australia for a three-match ODI series in November. South Africa who last played Zimbabwe in October will be relishing the challenge and will look to get some wins under the belt before the Cricket World Cup in England next year. Australia on the other hand had a disappointing tour of Pakistan where they lost the Test as well as the T20 series last month. Australia will be looking to gain some momentum before the Indian cricket team arrives later this month. While many see this series as a chance to get some white-ball practice, Fantasy Cricket players will be keeping a close eye on the proceedings. These matches are a perfect platform for these Fantasy Cricket players to test their cricket knowledge and will be creating their sides very carefully. But in case you have any trouble figuring as to who should be in your team, look no further. Here are our top five picks for Australia vs South Africa 1st ODI:

1. Dale Steyn - Bowler, South Africa

No one can deny that South Africa are a much better team when they have Dale Steyn leading the attack. One of the finest bowlers of the generation, Dale Steyn is still very much a feared bowler for the batsmen. Steyn who has had quite a few injury problems since last year has been in and out of the squad but has made it for the tour of Australia. With conditions favouring him, Steyn will be looking to create all sorts of problems for the Aussie batsmen and can get you a lot of points in the series.

2. Heinrich Klaasen - Batsman, South Africa

Heinrich Klaasen has had a decent start to his ODI career so far. In the nine matches he has played so far, he has already scored a century and is an in-form batsman travelling to Australia. Although the pressure will be on him to deliver, Klaasen is a calm and composed batsman and will be relishing this opportunity. Picking Klaasen is a risk, but if he is to do well, it's a risk that can get you a lot of points.

3. JP Duminy - All-rounder, South Africa

JP Duminy has been one of the most dependable player in the South African team for years. Duminy who started his career as a batsman later contributed largely with the ball and has now grown into a very resourceful allrounder. While Duminy can chip in with the runs towards the end of the innings, he has also known for his ability to break partnerships with the ball. Duminy can get you a lot of points for your Fantasy Cricket team in each innings.

4. Aaron Finch - Batsman, Australia

The Australian team is nowhere near to its best. With their key players still out suspended, Australia has had a very difficult 2018. There are very few players in the side that looks like creating a difference and Finch is definitely one of them. Finch who started as an explosive batsman has now groomed himself into a much more reliable player who builds the innings at the beginning. Pick Finch and hope Australia get off to a good start.

5. Mitchell Starc - Bowler, Australia

If Australia has Finch in batting, Mitchell Starc is the impact player with the ball. Starc who missed out on the series against Pakistan with an injury is now back and will be eager to get some playtime before India comes to Australia. Starc is a seasoned seamer who can rattle batting sides with ease and will get you a lot of points for your Fantasy Cricket team.
